On the day of his death he bonded one of his neighbor’s notes varying in amount from two hundred to sixteen hundred dollars and told him to present them to the people on whom they were drawn. They amounted in all to about six thousand dollars. To Miss Krumri who had cared for him and his aged sister-in-law, who died a short time ago, he bequeathed a thousand dollars in cash and the small piece of land which he owned, valued at about six hundred dollars.

The only relatives which he has are living in Germany. Some years ago he offered to pay their passage here and they replied by saying: “Yes, if he would turn over all his property to them.” This angered him and he has left them in the cold.

DAVID KRAMER NEWTON BOY KILLED ON WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL NEWTON LAD RUNS IN PATH OF ONCOMING CAR David Kraemer, 5, Victim of Accident Thursday When Struck by Car Driven by A. Hooper Run down on Highway 141, a few rods south of Newton village, 10 miles south of this city, Thursday afternoon, as he was returning home from school with his brother, David Kraemer, five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kraemer, was almost instantly killed by a car driven by A.J. Hooper, of this city, a salesman for a local concern. The latter resides at 2201 Washington street. The two brothers, David, 5, and (private), had been attending school at the White Trail school a short distance north of the point where the accident happened and had been dismissed from the afternoon session of school with the rest of the scholars by the teacher, Miss Kitzerow. The two brothers were walking along the side of the cement, and had reached a point opposite the Calvin Wernecke farm when Hooper came along in a coupe. He said that he noticed the two boys, who as he came up an incline in the road and sounded his horn, were off on one side of the cement. He saw that they were being motioned by another boy to come into a yard across the highway to an orchard and suddenly David, the younger of the brothers, darted forward without warning into the path of the car. Hooper stopped his car as soon as possible and carried the injured lad to the side of the road, while others summoned Dr. Barnstein from Newton. But the young Kraemer boy was beyond relief having suffered a fractured skull and other injuries. No Inquest To Be Held. The body was removed to the Vogelsang undertaking parlors in this city, and Coroner Kemper and Sheriff Beduhn notified, who visited the scene of the accident. After taking the testimony of the eye witnesses to the accident the authorities decided that it was an unavoidable accident and so no inquest was called. Hooper stated that the Kraemer boy started his dash from the east to the west side of the highway, evidently unaware of the approach of the car and ran directly into the path of the machine so close that he was unable to swerve the wheel sufficiently to miss striking the boy. Family of Seven Children. The dead lad was one of a family of seven children ranging in age from one year to 17 years. The family home is located three quarters of a mile east of Highway 141, ten miles south of the city. Besides the parents, four brothers, (private) and two sisters, (private) survive. Burial will take place on Sunday afternoon at two o’clock from the family home with interment at the Reformed church cemetery in Centerville. Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, September 14, 1928 Page 1
